The New York Mets continue making moves in the market, this time taking a chance on a player who has been out of MLB action for over a year. His last game was in October 2023 when he was an infielder for the Chicago Cubs.

The player in question is Jared Young, a 29-year-old first baseman drafted by the Cubs in 2017 out of Old Dominion. While his professional career hasn’t taken off as expected, this could be the opportunity he’s been waiting for. The Mets announced the deal as a one-year contract.
